Chapter 4: Attack
Mondays are the days people usually hated. Tuesdays are when everyone was finally getting into the week. Thursdays are anticipation days. Fridays everyone loved. Saturdays and Sundays were relaxation days.
"Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up! GET UP!"
Wednesdays are the middle of the week.
It was Wednesday, so there was nothing to feel about it. It was no longer the begging of the week and there were still days until the end of the week. It was a neutral day for all.
That being said...
"Get away from me. I feel like crap today. I'm just not gonna go to school."
"Too bad~ You don't have a choice in the matter~"
Indō let out an irritated groan as he was pushed off his bed by his older brother. The silver chains at his hips and on his shoulders clanged a bit in annoyance from being crushed.
Looking up from his spot he could see his brother grinning down at him.
"Seriously. I don't feel good."
"Oh? What's wrong? Stomach hurt? Leg pains? Need to masturbate?"
"Please... Just please stop talking and go die in a hole. ...No. I just...don't feel good. I don't know! It's hard to explain!"
Gō, genuinely feeling bad for his brother, gave a look of pity to the younger one. He let out a small sigh and crouched down go get a better look at Indō.
"Okay. Where exactly does it hurt? That way we can at least tell what's going on."
"Right...here? Here? Maybe here...? I'm really not sure. It just...hurts. Well, whatever! Whenever I start hurting like this, something bad happens. I really don't wanna get up to find out what exactly that bad thing is."
Gō shook his head. He stood up straight and stretched a bit.
He told Indō to get ready for school before leaving to go back to his own room.
This really was nothing new. Indō would indeed get these pains when something bad happened, but it always seemed weird to the older one that he had these kinds of pains.
I swear... He has some weird instincts. He really is like a dog, or something. Whatever. I'll just watch out for whatever it is. If just to calm his nerves.
Letting out a sigh, he walked into his room to get ready for the day.
"Now for today's training..." Aizawa looked at the whole class as he spoke. "This time, All Might, myself and one other will supervise. You will prepare for disaster relief, from fires to floods... It's recuse training!"
Ah. Silver Chains should be good for that.
Indō nodded to himself while listening to some comments from the other students.
"It's up to each of you whether or not you wear your costumes. As some of them are ill-suited to this sort of activity," Aizawa added while bringing out their costumes. "The training site is a bit remote, so we'll be going by bus. That's all. Get ready."
Each student went up to get their costumes before leaving to the changed.
While this was happening, Indō let out a sigh. The pain he had been feeling acne the morning continued to grow stronger as the day went on. He had thought about going to see Recovery Girl but figured it would be pointless if he himself didn't know why he was hurting.
"Whoa. What a scary look. You can rival Bakugo with that face."
Hearing someone speaking from next to him, Indō looked down to see Jirou looking at him with a dull look.
"What?"
"Here. Look."
Yaoyorozu came forward with a small mirror in hand. She opened it up to show him what he looked like.
He understood what the Earphone Jack user was talking about. His face was contorted in a way that looked rather similar to a wolf who was protecting its territory from an enemy. Overall it looked like he was a bit pissed off.
Clearing his throught, Indō put a hand on his face. Once he moved it away he looked at them with his usual dull expression.
"Is that better?"
"Much."
"Why were you so mad to begin with?"
"Hm? I wasn't mad. I was just thinking about something else. I suppose that my face just happened to end up like that. My bad."
The two girls nodded their heads, but still seemed skeptical about it.
The school year may not have been in for too long, but Indō was starting to egg use to other just talking to him out of nowhere. Sometimes it was just random things while others times he could swear there was a secret bet going on to see who can get him to say the most in a conversation.
He still preferred to stay away from others and conversations, but that was made much harder with the fact that he had his Silver Chains. They seemed to like everyone else in the class and started going around to play with the others. It had caused some issue before, bit nothing too bad.
One of those times seemed to be now.
"-"
The two silver chains coming from his hips undid themselves from his belt loops and started moving around in front if the two girls. The klanging sound seemed to be more like music than chains hitting themselves while they moved.
Indō went into action once he noticed the two silver chains start to wrap around the two girls' waists. He grabbed both silver chains before pulling them as hard as he could. He winced a bit but got over it so that he could tie the silver chains together.
Yaoyorozu, seeming to notice the wince, raised a delicate eyebrow at her classmate.
"Did that hurt? You only grabbed the chains."
"Yeah. The chains are a part of me. Think of them as independent arms or legs. They are just extensions of my body. That being said, if they decide to stop extending then it's like pulling on my arm or leg."
"I see. So that's why you always have them out to a good length. That way, if someone pulls on them, you won't feel the pain of them pulling on you. That's fascinating."
"Well, not really. It also hurts like hell if they come off."
"Come off?"
"Yeah. Like when the link connected to me comes off. The pain is crazy. Think of it like getting an amputation without any sort of anesthetic."
"Oh my. Does that mean it's happened to you before?"
"Of course." Indō waved his hand through the air. "It's fine, though. It was when I was younger. It also helped me build up a good amount of resistance to pain. Although... I would never want to feel pain like that to begin with."
Walking a bit behind the two, Jirou looked at them with a dull look on her face. A single thought ran through her head as she watched the two talk about their Quirks.
"You two are the type of people who like explaining things, aren't you?"
They both turned to her with small blushes.
Indō could only sigh when he heard Iida yell in sadness about the bus they would be going in.
When the class had gotten to their bus, Iida started telling them where they would all be seated, thinking it was like a regular school bus. It had turned out that the bus was more like a public one, meaning that his arrangement had no purpose.
He gave a small amount of sympathy to the guy, but nothing more. He himself had been one of the last ones on the bus for having taken a while with his costume. He had wanted to leave the metal armor behind, stating, "It's too damn heavy." What had stopped him was Iida, who said that the design had come from his brother, so it should have been special to him.
He could only click his tongue since the four-eyes had a good point. The design may have been annoying and heavy, but it had come from his annoying older brother. He could at least respect that.
"I generally say what's on my mind, Midoriya-chan."
Indō cracked an eye open to listen in on what was being said. Only because he thought what Asui had said sounded a bit familiar.
"Oh!? What is it, Asui-san!?"
"Just call me 'Tsuyu-chan'." She turned to him while, still speaking. "Your Quirk resembles All Might's."
As he heard that, Indō started thinking back to when he saw the boy use it and found it to be true. Although, there was a giant hole in what she was saying.
"Hold up, Tsuyu-chan. All Might doesn't get hurt when he fights," Kirishima decided to point out. "They're different in that way. But that sort of simple, strength-enhancing Quirk is awesome! You can do a lot of cool stuff with it!" As if to make a point, he held out his arm and used his Quirk. "Not like my Hardening. It's great in a fight, but that's all there is."
"I think that's really neat, though. Your Quirk's more than enough to go pro."
A small star could be seen in Midoriya's eyes as he looked over the simple Quirk.
"You think so!? But don't forget that heroes have to worry about popularity."
Once he heard them start to talk about things he didn't care he pulled out his phone and noticed multiple messages from Gō and one from Kōchō. He opened the ones from his brother only to close them right away without looking at a single one.
Once he decided that he would at least look at what Kōchō had sent he opened her messages to read them.
Hey, how are things on the Hero Side? Having fun comparing Quirks~?
He answered back when he saw that the last message was sent only two minutes ago.
Aren't you in class right now? Pay more attention. Also, don't make any more of those damn doujinshi. My classmate misunderstood what I like to read.
When he finished his message he put his phone away. It wasn't for long, though, since he felt a vibration right after.
Aren't YOU suppose to be in class~? And yet you are messaging me~ ;p
Feeling a vain pulse, Indō sent one final message before putting his phone on silent.
On a field trip. And please don't out emojis. They are annoying.
He was rather glad when he heard Aizawa announced that they has reached their destination.
They all looked out to see a large dome outside of the bus. It was rather large, so they could only imagine what they would be doing in there.
When the bus stopped in front of the large building the whole class started to leave it. With Iida "guiding" everyone, they exited the vehicle in a quick and orderly fashion. Some did point out that it was a bit annoying for him to do this.
.
Once they were inside, most of them were amazed at what they were seeing.
"Whooaaaaa! Is this Universal Studios Japan!?"
The two looked forward to see that the whole building had different areas with one being a landslide area and another covered in rocks. Each area was big in its own right, but when you saw it as a whole you could tell there was a lot to look at.
It truly did seem like something you would see in an amusement park. That being said, it was also easy to tell that this truly was a place to train for them.
"Every disaster you can imagine." Someone in a spacesuit, with yellow boots, started talking while heading towards them. "I built this facility myself. I call it... The Unforseen Simulation Joint!"
"It's the Space Hero, Thirteen!" Midoriya exclaimed as he and Uraraka got excited. "He's a gentleman hero who does his best work in rescue scenarios!"
"Oh, I love Thirteen!"
Indō gave an uncomfortable look as he crossed his arms over his chest. He had never really kept up with who was who in the hero world. He knew the obvious superstars like All Might, Endeavor, and Best Jeanist, but he didn't remember someone like Thirteen.
He seemed to be the only one.
He shook his head a bit and focused back on Thirteen.
"Before we start, I have one or two points," Thirteen said as he held up two fingers. "Or three... Or four... Possibly five..." As he spoke, Thirteen added a new finger for each number he added. "As I'm sure many of you are aware... My Quirk is called Blackhole. It can suck in and tear apart anything."
"And you've used it to save people in all sorts of disasters."
As he continued to listen to the lecture, Indō felt the pain from before start flaring up once more. This time it hurt to the point that even his silver chains were clanging. He tried to quiet them down before he was noticed.
"Indeed... However, my power can easily kill. I've no doubt there are some among you with similar abilities. In our super-powered society, the use of Quirks is heavy restricted and monitored. It may seem that this system is a stable one, but we must never forget that it only takes one wrong move with an uncontrollable Quirk for people to die."
It was starting to take a good amount of his mental ability to keep the silver chains from making too much noise. He noticed that he was getting looks from some of the people in front of him.
As one of the people in the far back, he didn't have to worry too much about Thirteen or Aizawa hearing.
"During Aizawa-senpai's fitness test, you came to learn your own hidden potential. Through All Might's battle training, you experienced the danger that your respective Quirks can pose to others. This class will show you a new perspective! You will learn to utilize your Quirks to save lives."
The pain continued to grow - slowly.
"You powers are not meant to inflict harm. I hope you leave here today with the understanding that you're meant to help people." Taking a bow, Thirteem finished with "That is all! I thank you for listening!"
He didn't hear Midoriya and Uraraka fawning over Thirteen.
Something, a small memory perhaps, suddenly flooded his mind. It was just for a moment but, Indō could remember a time where he had felt this level of pain and saw what looked to be his silver chains.
"Great. Now, first off..."
Aizawa started speaking but was quickly cut off when he noticed something on the lower level.
Indō looked down as well.
A small portal seemed to be appearing in what looked like mist.
A hand came through the hole.
It was quickly followed by a face.
The face was covered up by a hand, but the look from the single eye that could be seen was menacing enough to put Aizawa to action.
"Get together and don't move! Thirteen! Protect the students!"
It didn't take long for multiple bodies to come through the hole. Each one was vastly different from the other. Some Quirks seemed to be obvious while others were not.
One thing was for sure, this was partly the reason Indō felt the pain since the morning.
"Don't move. Those are villains!"
"Villains!? No way!"
"What villains would be dumb enough to sneak into a school for heroes!?"
"Are they only here, or also at the main building...? Either way, if the sensors aren't working... It has to be one of their Quirks that's doing it."
"'A school for heroes'... Besides Aizawa-sensei and Thirteen-san... What other heroes are here right now? We are far from the campus, so it would take time for others to reach us."
The pain had subsided a bit, but for one reason or another it was still there.
"Thirteen! Begin evacuation! And try calling the school! One of these villains must be jamming the sensors. There's a good chance one of their electric-types is causing this. Kaminari, try using your Quirk to signal for help."
"Got it!"
"But Sensei, you can't fight the, all alone! Against that many... Even you can't nullify all their Quirks! As Eraserhead, you fighting style involves Erasure and a quick bind capture. Head-on battle isn't-"
"No good hero has only one trick." Aizawa turned from Midoriya to Thirteen. "Thirteen! Take care of them!"
With that being said and done, Aizawa jumped down and started fighting the villains that went for him. His skills as a true Pro Hero shone brightly here, in this dome filled with villains and heroes-in-training.
He easily took out multiple enemies in a matter of seconds, astonishing the students.
The students and Thirteen started to head for the door.
Midoriya looked on, making a comment about Aizawa before Indō used his silver chains to start dragging him along so he wouldn't be left behind the others.
They didn't get far before the same mist-like guy from before appeared in front of them, stopping them just before the door. It was plain to see that this man was the reason that mist had appeared before.
"Greetings. We are the League of Villains. Forgive our audacity, but... Today, we've come to Yuuei Academy to end the life of All Might. The Symbol of Peace."
The mist-man started talking again, but stopped when Bakugou and Kirishima were in front of him, ready to attack. Just as the attacks seemed to have landed, the mist-man started reforming himself with ease as Thirteen got ready to suck him in.
They had little time to react as the mist started to envelope them.
Some were able to escape it by moving to the sides or covering others with their Quirks, but others were completely shrouded in the mist.
When the mist disappeared, it was shown that the students that were stuck in it had also disappeared.
At ten meters above the ground, Indō's hair whipped in the wind.
"Go, Silver Chains!"
The wolf head shoulders of his armor shook.
A slit opened in the sides of those shoulder heads and the color blue spilled out.
That color was a giant jewel resembling hands.
But that was not all. A metallic sound could be heard as the two jewels were pushed outwards, and something else followed them.
They were chains.
The chains were thicker than a human hand and the jewels hung from the ends. As they were released, they traveled along his arms like living creatures and passed through metal loops attached to his wrists.
The chains were long and they were only growing longer.
"...!"
The two chains instantly grew to silver tails measuring several meters and they swung wide around him.
He swung his arms backwards as if to strike something as he prepared for his landing.
He traveled toward the center of the villains waiting for him.
They seemed to be ready to face him from the front, so they were left almost defenseless against this overhead strike.
But some of the villains shouted out.
"They're just chains! Endure the first strike and crush him when he lands!"
"Go ahead and underestimate me."
As he fell, Indō swung the chains. He swung them upwards as if to circle around behind him.
My Silver Chains are not just chains. They are chains that grow with me.
Something flew in behind him.
The giant objects were large pieces of buildings. They weighed several tons and they had been sent towards Indō's back. It was most likely a villain who thought they could attack while he was still on the air that had thrown the pieces of buildings.
Everyone thought they would hit him.
These are a part of my body.
The jewel-like decorative hands at the ends of the Silver Chains grabbed the pieces of the buildings.
The chains casually swung the masses of concrete upwards. The movement started gently but eventually became a smashing movement.
"..."
Indō bent the several meter pieces of the buildings as if trying to throw his entire body forward.
"Out of my way!"
He used brute strength to attack the villains.
